I
I OFTEN GO IN MEMORY TO A PLACE THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME,
WHERE FIRST I HEARD THEM SINGING HOME SWEET HOME.
(I STILL RECALL THE MELODY TO ROCK OF AGES CLEFT FOR ME)
HOW I'D LOVE TO HEAR A HYMN FROM WAY BACK HOME.
CHORUS
I MISS AMAZING GRACE LOVES OLD STORY.
THE SWEETEST SOUND MY HEART HAS EVER KNOWN.
(I MISS DADDY SITTING IN AN OLD ROCKING CHAIR. YES, AND
MAMA'S VOICE SO SWEET AND CLEAR)
HOW I'D LOVE TO HEAR A HYMN FROM WAY BACK HOME.
II
I LONG TO HEAR THE CHOIR SING IN A TINY CHURCH DOWN THE DUSTY LANE
IT THRILLS ME JUST TO HEAR THE ORGAN PLAY
(HEAVENLY VOICES IN ONE ACCORD, SINGING PRAISES TO MY BLESSED LORD)
HOW I'D LOVE TO HEAR A HYMN FROM WAY BACK HOME.
